Impact of pleural thickness on the sensitivity of computed tomography scan-guided cutting-needle pleural biopsy in diagnosing unexplained exudative pleural effusion
Abstract Background In most cases, patients with pleural effusion require a pleural biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, due to the low diagnostic sensitivity of thoracentesis. Among the different biopsy modalities, real time computed tomography scan-guided cutting-needle pleural biopsy (CT-CNPB) ensure...
